Peavey 5150 120-Watt Head

EarthQuaker Devices Arrows

Push the 5150's tight, responsive high-gain channel further by stacking the Arrows' subtle treble boost in front for extra definition and cut.

EarthQuaker Devices Chelsea

Push the 5150's tight, responsive high-gain channel further by stacking the Chelsea's bright, British-voiced drive in front for extra edge.

Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster

The 5150's dynamic, Soldano-voiced metal distortion gives the Rangemaster's germanium treble boost a much heavier front end to push into.

IdiotBox Effects End of Line

The End of Line's tremolo pulses cut through the 5150's dense metal distortion when placed after the amp's own gain stage.

Analog Man Comprossor

Run the Comprossor ahead of the 5150 and its transparent sustain evens out pick attack before the amp's tight, high-gain channel takes over.

Boss DD-200 Digital Delay

Keep the DD-200's digital repeats in the 5150's effects loop — after that tight, high-gain distortion, not before it muddies the delay. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Catalinbread Csidman Ghost

Run the Csidman Ghost's glitchy digital repeats in the 5150's loop, after the amp's tight distortion, so the delay stays clear instead of smearing into the gain. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
